Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.
With 207,385 views on Saturday, 5 August 2023 our article of the day is SummerSlam (2023).
The 2023 SummerSlam was the 36th annual SummerSlam professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. The event took place on Saturday, August 5, 2023, at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, returning the event to its traditional August slot after the previous year's event was held in July. This was the first SummerSlam to be livestreamed on Binge in Australia. This marked the first time a WWE event has been held at Ford Field since WrestleMania 23 in April 2007, and the first SummerSlam to be held in Michigan since the 1993 event.
Nine matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Roman Reigns defeated Jey Uso in a Tribal Combat to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and recognition of Tribal Chief. In other prominent matches, Seth "Freakin" Rollins defeated Finn Bálor to retain the World Heavyweight Championship, Bianca Belair defeated defending champion Asuka and Charlotte Flair in a Triple threat match to win the WWE Women's Championship, after which, Iyo Sky cashed in her Money in the Bank contract and defeated Belair to win the championship, Cody Rhodes defeated Brock Lesnar, Gunther defeated Drew McIntyre to retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship, and in the opening bout, Logan Paul defeated Ricochet.
